Seventy dollars.
I'm still not convinced this is my sort of game, but even if it is, I think I can wait a bit for the price to drop by a bit more than ten Best Buy bucks.

I'll wait for 19.99 on PC. Nothing slick about paying high prices for games

Walmart usually has the new release games $10 off (in store only), not sure if console specific

Unfortunately they have not at this point. And if they did, I would wager it would be snatched up quickly as even collector's editions for franchises much less popular than Harry Potter can and do sell out quickly.

And for those who say the price is high, YES, it is a pre-order so you're paying for the guaranteed access to play at release rather than wait for price drops. At least Best Buy throws in a $10 credit to offset. Also, it's a Harry Potter title so you are paying for premium brand licensing. I'm glad they kept the title in the gaming industry new release pricing ballpark rather than adding on a higher premium, just walk into a Harry Potter store and you can see that at play. And if the title is half as good as the hype suggests, $70 isn't a huge amount to pay for so many hours of entertainment. However, there are lots of other options for cheaper games if the price doesn't work for you. I just wouldn't hold my breath on much of a discount on THIS title.

This works out good for me, it's one of the few games my girlfriend is really interested in. If someone announces a much better preorder promo I can switch but between the $10 BB gift card, the ability to apply the $5 reward zone certificate they sent out via email that only had like a 10 day redemption window and the discounted Harry Potter promotional wand pen/bookmark bundle (discounted from $14.99 to $4.99 when purchased with this game) this seems like the best option at the moment.

I'd rather pay $60/$70 at release, put in bunch of hours in the first month, and assuming it's any good and holds its value, resell for $35-$40 a few weeks later and be able to play before my feed is hit with all the spoilers.

This is such a risky and unnecessary game to pre-order..

Meh. At least they were proactive and fixed most, if not all, of it.
